The 5 book series of 'Life's Journey' is now complete and all 5 books are now available on Amazon. Shortly the author has said he will combine all 5 books into one volume and place it on Kindle firstly then it will be available in book form 3 months later.
The author, Phillip Lesbirel, has written many gay and straight skinhead books and is fast becoming well known for his skinhead writings of its culture and scene. Life's Journey is about a 16 year old inexperienced and naive apprenticed motor mechanic who discovers the skinhead brotherhood in the late 60's early 70's, devours its culture and lifestyle as if born to it, but his internal anger and quick temper lead him to a prison term. On release from prison, he seeks a life away from his past and with a false passport and by buying a working trip to Australia heads away from the UK. Although he has bought the silence of the freighter's Captain, the Captain notifies the authorities as he enters the Port of Melbourne, and Johnnie has to jump into the frigid waters of Port Phillip Bay with his South African lover Joe.
They barely survive but Johnnie is determined to never be caught and return to prison and commits 2 murders to ensure this. He meets and falls in love with Skull, a parole violator himself and an ex con having served 6 years. Book 5 deals with their growing love, their work on the prawn trawlers in the Gulf of Carpentaria and how through an industrial accident, Skull is killed and how Johnnie's grief is handled.
Heart warming, vicious, violent; The series follows Johnnies short life from a naive youth to a vicious killer. Throughout the series you love and hate him, but mostly you love him, like him and root for his success. Johnnie is a skinhead, angry, with attitude, gay and willing to excel in all the fetishes even the fringe fetishes, as he believes he should experience all that life has to offer. I believe you would enjoy this series and will not regret buying it or maybe wait a few weeks and borrow the full series book from the Kindle Library.
Welcome to my blog. I am a gay skinhead and a SHARP. I am also an author of skinhead books and my favorite author is Richard Allen, and no I don't style my writings after his books. My characters are as real as I can make them in my mind and all my books try to show my feelings against racial, sexual and religious hate. Being a skinhead is not just being a lout although that does help in a fight, but upholding a creed and brotherhood established by working class youth in the late 60's.

New skinhead books
There is a new skinhead book now published by Phillip Lesbirel called 'Life's Journey'. It is a series and 3 books have now been published with a promised 4th shortly.
The storyline is of a young 16 year old youth who discovers the skinhead way of life, its gay love and fetishes. Johnnie is a tough, street wise kid and ends up being jailed for assault. On release from prison, he decides he needs to leave England and head to a country where he can start again, but his prison record will not allow him to move legally so he buys a new identity and signs on to a freighter bound for Australia.
In Cape Town he meets with Joe, an orphaned dockside worker and Joe stows away on board ship when it leaves port. Johnnie falls for Joe and they decide to jump ship in Melbourne, but their plans are thwarted by the ship's Captain and as they are heading into Port Philip Bay, a police tender comes aside the ship. Johnnie and Joe jump overboard. Book 3 ends with our wandering if they survived, but with the announcement of book 4, we have to believe they did.
Books 1, 2 and 3 have a great story. Set in the late 60's at the start of the skinhead culture, it does discuss some of the more bazaar fetishes known to the gay world at that time. It also deals with the rivalry of the skinhead gangs or crews of the time. I loved all 3 books, can't wait for book 4.

Skinhead tattoos
Most skinheads have tattoos, whether they be gay or straight. The problem is deciding what tattoo to have. There are few tattoos that directly relate to skinheads, and these can be dramatic as in full backs or just smaller tattoos for the arms or other areas of the body. Personally I have 2 tattoos, a 'Spirit of 69' tattoo on the left arm and a 'British Bulldog' with the Union Jack on my right arm. I also have a slave tattoo on my neck, but that does not relate to skinheads. I have searched the internet for skinhead tattoos for some time and cannot find anything decent to allow me to comlete a full sleeve. I don't want just any tattoos, I want skinhead tattoos and not Nazi ones either. I am a SHARP so any reference to Nazi or WP is definately out.
Tattoos are very personal. Each tattoo on a guy is well thought out before they are tattood on his skin for once on, they cannot be removed without heavy scaring. I intend to place the 'Crucified Skinhead' tattoo across my entire back in the near future, but the full sleeve for my right arm eludes me. Any suggestions as to what to use or where there are decent skinhead tattoos on the internet I can browse? Let me know through this blog.

Gear for gay skinheads
There are so many fetish sites with gear for gay skinheads, from rubber to leather, to bleachers with rear zips and polo's to let your fellow skinheads know you are gay and proud. T-Shirts appear to be making a splash on the fetish scene as well as Tank Tops or Singlets. I still prefer the Polo shirt as my dress. maybe I am old fashioned, but I am a traditional skin so Polo's are all I wear. As for rubber and leather? I am not against it, in fact I get a hard on when I see these young skins in tight leather pants or skintight rubber jeans, their rubber Polo and braces wearing their Doc Martin 14 or 20 hole boots. Even the waders turn me on, but are they true skins or are they feetish gay men grabbing the skin culture to their own ends?
We have so many fetish styles now, including work gear and the military look. To have this look at a fetish party is great but it is not a look for everyday use, down the pub or down the football match. They are purely club use. We are skins and we are a brotherhood of working class men with a culture we are all living for life. Our fetishes are just that, a fetish. To use when it is time to play, so brothers, play and play hard but dont forget our roots in the working class of our country.
The skinhead party planned in London shortly by Recon lists all the fetishes, but also state that admittence is dress code only. With all the different fetish styles of dress, how can we call this a dress code. To me a dress code is skinhead; bleachers, polo, braces, Doc Martin's or Underground boots, football socks and MA1, preferably olive green. A shaved head tops this off, but a No.1 is acceptable. If you are a skinhead then dress to impress and maybe that man you are looking for will be waiting for you to impress and grab from the crowd. Enjoy Fetish Week in London guys.

Hair
Skinheads traditionally have a shaved head but there appears to be a trend towards buzz cuts, shaved sides and mohawks. These socalled skinheads are bluring the line. Anything more than a Number 1 cut is not a skinhead look. Many Punks are claiming to be skinheads but their hair and clothing are nowhere near what a skinhead should be.
A skinhead traditionally shaves his head and wears his clobber with pride. He is part of a youth army world wide and to part from tradition is putting the brotherhood at risk. If you want to follow fashion then so be it, but don't call yourself a skinhead. Skinheads don't follow fashion. They follow a tradition. What is a skinhead tradition? A shaved head, a working class background and a uniform recognised world wide. Yes, it is a uniform, no different to the military. We are an army of arrogant, angry men, fed up with unemployment, low paid jobs and a media that cannot come to terms with our culture.
So if you call yourself a skinhead, then look at your hair or lack of it. If it is not a shaved head or Number 1 cut, then you are not a skin. What you are is your business but don't call yourself a skinhead.
